@anehx GPL-3.0-or-later is the only correct one. Its the official SPDX identifier. I can't change that pypi doesn't use the correct one and that the license text itself isn't consistent. I changed the badge, though. Let me know if I missed an occurrence. |

Based on the discussion in issue #751, we reevaluated our goals. We want
We found that the definitions in AGPL aren't as clearcut as we wished; therefore, we want to switch to GPL-3.0-or-later. GPL will support all of our goals, with a minor draw-back: Not every last modification is guaranteed to end up in public. Which isn't that bad and it resolves all discussion about configuration.
